German Konecranes encoder Konecranes model Konecranes price

Konecranes encoders are a type of digital sensor, belonging to code disk encoders. Code disk encoders are also known as absolute encoders; they convert angles into digital codes and can be easily connected to digital systems (such as microcomputers). Contact encoders consist of a code disk and brushes. The code disk uses printed circuit board manufacturing processes to create a disk-shaped PCB with a specific code pattern on a copper-clad laminate. A brush is a movable contact structure; under external force, when the code disk rotates, the contact between the brush and the code disk generates a digital code output in a specific coding format.

Konecranes Encoder Introduction

A detector that outputs angular data within one motor revolution to an external target. Absolute encoders can generally output 360 ° with 8 to 12 bits. Incremental encoders have a disadvantage: axis position is lost in the event of a power failure. However, for absolute encoders, axis position is not lost even if a power failure occurs. Various codes can be output, such as binary code and BCD code. Absolute encoders are more expensive, more precise, and larger than incremental encoders. The optical code disk of an absolute encoder has many light channel tracks. Each track is arranged sequentially with 2 lines, 4 lines, 8 lines, and 16 lines. At each position of the encoder, by reading the light and dark states of each track, a unique 2-ary code (Gray code) is obtained, ranging from the zeroth power of 2 to the n-1th power of 2. Absolute encoders determine the code based on mechanical position; they require no memory, no reference point search, and no continuous counting. The position is read whenever it is needed. Absolute encoders have a measuring range and are suitable for use in certain special machine tools.

Konecranes Encoder Application Areas

Compared with traditional photoelectric and grating encoders, magneto-electric encoders offer better resistance to vibration, corrosion, contamination, and interference, as well as a wider temperature range, making them suitable for applications where traditional photoelectric encoders cannot adapt. Magnetic encoders are specifically designed for extremely harsh environments, which generally require wide temperature characteristics, the ability to withstand strong vibration and shock, and high protection ratings. In addition, we offer reliable signal output circuits and simple installation methods, which can significantly reduce losses due to downtime. They are typically used in metallurgy, papermaking, and woodworking machinery. High-performance magnetic encoders are widely used in industrial control, mechanical manufacturing, ships, textiles, printing, aviation, aerospace, radar, communications, military industry, and other fields.

Konecranes Encoder Signal Output

Signal outputs include sine waves (current or voltage), square waves (TTL, HTL), open collector (PNP, NPN), and push-pull types. Among these, TTL is long-line differential drive (symmetrical A, A-; B, B-; Z, Z-). HTL is also known as push-pull output. The interface of the encoder's signal receiving equipment should match the encoder. Signal connection: The encoder's pulse signal is generally connected to counters, PLC, and computers. Modules connecting PLC and computers are divided into low-speed and high-speed modules, with varying switching frequencies. Single-phase connection is used for unidirectional counting and unidirectional speed measurement. A.B two-phase connection is used for forward/reverse counting, direction determination, and speed measurement. Three-phase connection of A, B, and Z is used for position measurement with reference bit correction. Connection of A, A-, B, B-, Z, and Z- provides symmetrical negative signals, resulting in a net electromagnetic field contribution from the current to the cable of 0, minimizing attenuation and providing optimal interference resistance for longer transmission distances. For encoders with TTL symmetrical negative signal output, the signal transmission distance can reach 150 meters. For encoders with HTL symmetrical negative signal output, the signal transmission distance can reach 300 meters.
